Six patients with cold defects on sulfur colloid liver/spleen scans and no history suggestive of malignant disease were imaged with Tc-99m in vivo labeled red blood cells. Dynamic, immediate, and delayed static images of the liver were obtained on all patients, demonstrating accumulation of activity in the lesions over time in five patients. This correlates well with the suspected diagnosis of ...

Intrarenal splenosis is very rare and its management is not well established. We present a patient in whom an enhancing left renal mass was incidentally detected on a Computerized tomographic (CT) scan, concerning for renal cell carcinoma. However, the lesion was determined to represent intrarenal splenosis, confirmed by Technetium-99m (99mTc) sulfur colloid scan and percutaneous biopsy, which ...

We present a 42-year-old patient who was examined in the Gastroenterology Department of Gaziantep University for chronic abdominal pain, nausea and vomiting. Ultrasonography showed a 4.7 cm solid hepatic mass on the right lateral side of the right lobe of the liver. The patient was then sent to the Nuclear Medicine Department of Gaziantep University for liver scan. After injecting autologous re...

Single compartmental spherules of various lipid constituents (vesicles), enclosing (99m)TcO(4) (-) as a radioactive marker, were injected intravenously into C(3)H mice, and the distribution of radioactivity was studied. About 25% of the administered radioactivity was present in the liver 5 min and 30 min after the injection of vesicles composed of phosphatidylcholine and gangliosides, which wer...

The remediation of metal-contaminated sediment was studied using the bioleaching process with a mixed culture of sulfur-oxidizing bacteria. The effects of substrate concentration (elemental sulfur) on sediment acidification, sulfur oxidation and metal solubilization from contaminated sediment during the bioleaching process were investigated with free-cell suspensions. Sulfur concentration great...

Hybrid organic-inorganic solar absorbers are currently the subject of intense interest; however, the highest-performing materials contain Pb. Here we assess the potential of three Sb-based semiconductors: (i) Sb2S3, (ii) Cs2Sb8S13, and (iii) (CH3NH3)2Sb8S13. While the crystal structure of Sb2S3 is composed of 1D chains, 2D layers are formed in the ternary cesium and hybrid methylammonium antimo...

The recycling of steel scrap is becoming more and developed to save resources protect the environment. However, impurities such as antimony in cannot be economically effectively removed, resulting an inevitable accumulation impurities. Once impurity concentration exceeds a certain limit, they will have great impact on ductility deterioration hot shortness steel. It has been shown that sulfide c...
